These gorgeous heart crystals would be perfect! Each one is an energy filled crystal, carved into a heart shape and glowing with colour.

The selection of stones is chosen to resonate with the chakras, so there is red jasper for the root chakra, orange aventurine for the sacral chakra, jasper, lapis lazuli, sodalite and amethyst and so on.

Whether you want to use them for chakra balancing, reiki, or just to enjoy because they are so pretty, they make a really meaningful gift under the tree or in a stocking!

I keep coming back to simple heart-shaped chunks of glass – there is something about the smooth curves, heavy and satisfying of glass hearts, and when they are hand-blown there are no sharp edges to cut, just cool depth and solid weight.
This is a range of glass hearts in various colours created by artisans, Jon and Shannon Felix of Avalon Glassworks, in Seattle.

I love the cobalt blue in particular but the amber is also enticing. All the hearts are 3”x3”x1” and they cost $30 directly from Avalon Glassworks.

I’ve always had a soft spot for sparklers – they bring out the child in us all, memories of the excitement of being outside in the dark on Bonfire night, writing in the air, the magic of the fizzing bright light. So I was very excited to discover these heart sparklers, adding even more romance to the sparkler scene!

They might be intended as wedding sparklers, but I think they’d be great for any romantic occasion – Valentine’s Day after dinner, to start off the fireworks perhaps!

Almost every serious cook lusts after Le Creuset casseroles, but generally speaking they’re a practical rather than a romantic gift… except when they’re heart-shaped! In this case it would be a wonderful anniversary, Valentine’s or Christmas gift for your beloved, and if you’re very lucky it might even be used to cook a romantic candlelit dinner for two!

Bright gaudy colours, endearing polka dot design, this glass heart platter would make a great Christmas gift for anyone who loves entertaining or just presenting food beautifully. It’s almost a shame to cover up the heart with food, so I can also see it taking pride of place on the coffee table, even with no snacks in sight.

Created by Lori Siebert, glass artist, the platter is made with layers of colored glass fused together for a stunning effect.

Bright colors, funky design and hearts, hearts, hearts! This teapot would make a fantastic centerpiece for any tea-table or dresser.

Some might collect it as a decorative piece, but it’s totally functional and even pours well!

Bold and beautiful, it is a classic Romero Britto ceramic piece with loads of whimsical details and would make a great gift for a loved one who collects ceramics, either for Christmas or for Valentine’s Day.

I’ve loved these gorgeous glass hearts, ever since I first saw them. There’s something about the solid, smooth weight of glass in the hand, the brilliant colours and the fact that they’re hand-made and each one is different.

Artisan-made pieces usually aren’t cheap…. so I was stunned when I saw that this one is currently hugely discounted on Amazon. It’s advertised at $13.99 down from $111.00 at the moment, so if you’ve been longing for one, but have held off because of the price, now’s the time!

If you’re looking for a loving gift for an eco-warrior, what better than a tree? And a tree hung with natural hand carved hearts from a sustainable source gets even more romantic green stars!

These trees come from Heart Wood, a South African tree gifting company, who have gone all the way to make sure that this is a truly green gift, with recycled packaging, indigenous tree choices and loads of love put into the whole concept.

Love the idea but you’re not in South Africa? Try Tree2myDoor, a tree gifting company who deliver special trees as wedding gifts, Valentines gifts and more in the UK.

And in the US you can send gift boxed trees and bushes of various indigenous and exotic species from Colorado spruce to Ginkgo tree.

If these little trees don’t make a big enough statement for you, how about buying an indigenous large tree from a specialist nursery. These can be any size up to about 3m tall or larger if you choose. Hang the tree of your choice with hearts and have it delivered to her door. Make sure you’re there to help plant it though, otherwise the romantic gesture might not go down all that well. Better still hire the tree planting service to do all the planting and maintenance of the tree.

If you’re looking for a gift that a teenage girl will treasure, how about this one-year diary with rich heart design bejeweled cover?

The gorgeous colors and design of the diary add warmth and importance to the secret thoughts and desires she might write inside its covers and two keys keep the contents private (note to moms – it’s not OK to keep the second key for yourself, however tempting!!).

It’s made by CR Gibson who produce quality stationery and measures 7 x 5 inches with dated pages, 2 days to a page. The diary matches this beaded heart notebook, so they could both be given as a set.
